The RRE Lab recently spent three days together on a winter retreat in Matt. The retreat combined a series of workshops on research practices, intercultural training, and collaborative discussions on how to make RRE an even better place to work and grow. Alongside the academic activities, we enjoyed skiing and hiking in the winter landscape. It was a rewarding and bonding experience that strengthened our connections and shared vision as a group.
We are happy to welcome Federico Sartore to our group as a PhD student. His research focuses on assessing the vulnerability of the Swiss energy system to low-probability, high-impact hazards. He will develop models to build a robust probabilistic description of compound events and evaluate their potential impact. He earned his BSc in Energy Engineering from the University of Padua, Italy, and holds a Master’s degree in Energy Science and Technology from ETH Zurich.
On July 28th, we had our summer retreat. We had an inspiring guided tour of the Gonzen iron mine, and we worked together to reinforce our team culture.
